Re: Semie made Ramones Mosrite
You guys are killing me with all these great pictures of Mosrites I'll never see!
Every time I come across a bunch of shots like these,I just wanna go out and hit the shops looking for my next aquisition,and trust me, I spend more than enough money on guitars as it is.
Don't stop posting them though.

Well, there are a few Threads on how to make these guitars, and if you have any questions,
you just might want to talk to Danny "the SCRATCH KING." Every BLOODY thing that he has made,
was from Scratch FUZZ boxes, guitars, Bass guitar, restoring or recovering amps when
he's not making something else! Yep Dub, ya got a NEW name...."the SCRATCH KING."
I guess I got inspired when I was watching a Classic Movie 2 nites ago...."the Great Escape."
Everyone had a nickname......I Like that!!!!

Re: Semie made Ramones Mosrite
I've restored some guitars myself, I haven't put the stuff up here, cuz it's been stuff like strats, mustangs, les pauls, etc. but if anyone wants to see pics, let me know.

Did Mosrite ever make the Ventures II with a slanted bridge pickup? Aside from Johnny Ramone's guitar I've never seen another one with it. (besides the reissues) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that this may have been a custom "modification" that was done to his guitar. If you watch early Ramones footage (live performances, and even in Rock 'n Roll High School) His white Mosrite has two, straight pickups without pole screws (the same as every other Ventures II I've ever seen).
Then sometime around 1980 the slanted pickup started to appear, so my question is. Did Mosrite ever make a Ventures II that came straight from the factory with a slanted bridge pickup? If they did has anyone seen another guitar like this and did Johnny Ramone switch guitars sometime in 1980 or just get a new pickguard made with a slanted pick up in it?

Re: Semie made Ramones Mosrite
Brian had asked:
Brian, in a nutshell...No.
Correct. Johnny had eliminated the RARE TREM System (on the MARK IIs) and had installed a Seymour Duncan 'bucker in the Neck Position and a DiMarzio Single Coil in the Bridge, with 2 different knob controls as well .
Brian, Mosrite did not make a Ventures II with a slanted pickup (neck or bridge). However Mosrite made a Ramones Model with a Slanted Bridge Pickup. Mosrite had made a couple of prototypes, BUT!!! This is THE ONLY Ramones Model that I have seen made by Semie, with THE SLANTED BRIDGE PICK-UP.....

Re: Semie made Ramones Mosrite
Ok, I was thinking of the white "Ventures II" that he always played, not those few "Ramones" models... Funny, since that's what this post was originally about (ha.) I guess seeing that picture of that all Original V2 put up by "DorkRockRecords" had an effect of sorts on my brain and I couldn't get back on topic.
